• See ‘Top Roast Tips!’ (below left).
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Boil
the kettle. Season half chicken with a good
pinch of salt and pepper.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil
over medium-high heat. Cook chicken, skin
side down, until browned, 5 minutes per side.
Transfer to a lined oven tray, skin-side up, and
top with half the butter. Keep the frying pan
with leftover chicken fat for later.
• Roast chicken until cooked through,
35-45 minutes. Rest for 5-10 minutes.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it’s no longer
pink inside.

• While the chicken is roasting, half-fill a medium
saucepan with boiling water and a generous
pinch of salt.
• Peel and chop potato into large chunks. Cook
potato in boiling water until easily pierced with
a fork, 12-15 minutes. Drain and return to pan.
• Add the milk, salt and remaining butter, then
mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm.
TIP: Leave the skin on the potato for extra fibre and
to save time.

• While the potato is cooking, trim baby rainbow
carrots and slice any thicker carrots in
half lengthways.
• Slice prosciutto (see ingredients) in
half lengthways.
• Pick thyme leaves.

• Place carrots on a second lined oven tray. Drizzle
with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and
toss to coat. Arrange in a single layer and roast
for 10 minutes.
• Remove tray from oven, add prosciutto to the
tray and roast until the carrots are tender and
prosciutto is crispy, 5-10 minutes.

• While the chicken is resting, return the frying
pan with chicken fat to medium-high heat. Cook
baby spinach leaves, stirring, until softened,
1-2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Return frying pan to medium heat, then add
cream (see ingredients), chicken-style stock
powder, any chicken resting juices and a
generous pinch of pepper. Simmer until slightly
thickened, 1-2 minutes.
• Stir in thyme.

• Divide potato mash, baby rainbow carrots and
spinach between plates.
• Top with roast chicken.
• Pour over thyme sauce and sprinkle with crispy
prosciutto to serve. Enjoy!
